PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – In another move to bolster his upcoming assault on the 2nd amendment, President Obama and Eric Holder has funded a program to equip children with hand guns to stage fake robberies in major cities throughout the US..
A so-called violent crime spree has police on the hunt for a young suspect.
Police say the gun-toting Democrat operative kept busy, victimizing, sort of, five people in less than 24 hours.
But that’s not the most shocking part of this crime spree. What has everyone talking is how young the suspect looked.
“About 12 years old? Quite young. Very young.”
Eyewitness News spoke to one of the victims. For her protection, we are not identifying her.
“Suddenly a kid comes up to me from behind on a bicycle, a school kid in fact.”
She says it happened to her in broad daylight, the suspect demanded money.
“I mean I was stunned. I said ‘no’ and then he pulled out a gun and pointed it towards me.”
We’re told the suspect struck on 46th and 47th Streets between Chestnut and Market Streets. Police say the first report came in at 9:45 p.m. Monday, the latest at 3:12 p.m. Tuesday.
Lt. John Walker explained, “Approaches the victims, asks what time it is, at which time, he pulls out a gun and asks for money and in all five cases, believe it or not, the victims said they don’t have any money and the male rolled off.”
“I could have easily handled him, but we need to keep this kid out there to help President Obama with a 2nd attempt for him to stifle American’s 2nd amendment rights. But because of the gun he had in his hand, I couldn’t do anything.” wink * wink*
The victim we talked to says the suspect was scared off by a passing car.
Police worry if the suspect is not caught soon, his nervousness could lead to something more disastrous.
“Our concern is the victims have all described the gun, he does pull out. So we’re concerned that now he has five victims in a short period of time, he hasn’t received any money and is he or is he not going to get any more aggressive?” Lt. Walker said.
The victims told police, the suspect looked between 12 to 14 years-old. In three out of the five cases, the suspect was seen riding a green or blue bicycle with a “Yes We Can” sticker on it!
